NIGHT CLERK AT GAS STATION IS FOUND SLAIN
By Chicago Tribune
A night-shift clerk at the Wolf Road Shell station in unincorporated Orland Township was found shot to death early Wednesday, marking the third south suburban fatal shooting in three days.
Robert Collins, 41, of the 10300 block of South Barnard Drive in Chicago Ridge, had been shot once in the head about 4 a.m., according to Cook County Sheriff's Police spokeswoman Penny Mateck.
A day manager and delivery person arriving at the scene nearly an hour later found Collins' body behind the counter of the station at 14301 S. Wolf Rd., she said. There were no signs of a robbery, although employees were conducting an inventory Wednesday to be sure.
"He was a great guy. He had a big heart," said his brother Don Becknell, who added that he did not know of anyone with a reason to kill his brother.

ROBERT COLLINS KILLER
Police in Cook County Illinois are looking for the person who fired one fatal shot, killing a convenience store clerk in 1997.
Cops say, on April 17, 1997 Robert Collins, the overnight clerk at the Shell station in Orland Park, Illinois was alone in the store when a lone person entered the store, fired one shot at Robert and left. Robert died hours later. Police are unsure whether or not the shooting was a botched robbery. No money was taken.
Months after the shooting, Cook County Sheriff's Police received a phone call from a man named Bob Reynolds from Poole (sp) Trucking Company. He gave police details about the case they were not publicized. Suddenly, Reynolds hung up. Police do not consider him a suspect, but want to talk to him and find out everything he knows about the shooting. Shell has offered a $20,000 reward leading to the arrest and conviction of the shooter.
